UK 2013 £5 The Christening of HRH Prince George of Cambridge Silver Proof Coin

The arrival of Prince George was posted in an official proclamation at the gates of Buckingham Palace, as it had been for his father. Royal christenings are steeped in tradition. The Lily Font, usually safely housed at the Tower of London, has been used in many christening ceremonies, including those of The Duke of Cambridge and his father The Prince of Wales, in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace. The water used for the ceremony is from the River Jordan, a Royal tradition dating back to King Richard I.
